[Bioperl-l] Update of SeqIO:: fastq Module for PacBio

[Dan Nasko]

Peter,

One of the folks at PacBio got back to me this weekend saying that the FASTQ encoding bug will be fixed in an upcoming software release.

When I asked him how they were fixing it he said "The QVs are now being clipped at 89." Needless to say I'm extremely skeptical of these quality values.
